*¹ Power level dependant on tool and application.

 

*² Simultaneous adaptive charging for multiple batteries maximises productivity - Batteries <= 5.0Ah are charged simultaneously with the same charge rate - Batteries > 5.0Ah are charged simultaneously but first pack attached has priority and gets charged with higher charge rate.
